Default Another offset wheel question..

Ok, Im running 17x7 rims that are 42mm offset. Obviously not the stock 17x7.5 and 32mm offset of the original TT wheels. My wheels are a little tucked in the body and not really flushed to the body..Question is, if I get some H&R 25mm wheel spacers will I be at least at the stock offset? Im thinking 42mm - 32mm = 10mm difference. Plus the .5 inch between my 17x7 and the stock 17x7.5, should get me near stock offset right??

Default Crunching your numbers

Default Re: Calculator

Before I order my spacers, Can some confirm my spacer sizes?
I've got 19X8 wheels with a 35et.
The calculator says I need 19mm front and 25mm rear spacers.

copied from above:
"additional data collecting has shown ET22 front, ET16 rear to be a safe FLUSH setup"

Does this sound right? will I fall in the "safe" range? unless I'm doing something wrong.... wheel offset and spacers would be ET16 Front and ET10 Rear?
